Re-including file doesn't overwrite function within array comprehension

General Usage

First things first:

julia> versioninfo()
Julia Version 0.5.2

  OS: Windows (x86_64-w64-mingw32)

I’m experiencing the following strange phenomenon. I will demonstrate it by providing a sequence of files and REPL outputs.

Step 1

some_file.jl

function plus_number(x)
   return x+1
end

Step 2

julia > include(“some_file.jl”)
julia > [plus_number(i) for i = 1:5]
5-element Array{Int64,1}:
2
3
4
5
6

Step 3

include.jl

function plus_number(x)
   return x+2
end

Step 4

julia > include(“some_file.jl”)
julia > [plus_number(i) for i = 1:5]
5-element Array{Int64,1}:
2
3
4
5
6

So, the same output is generated when using UnitRanges with a list comprehension and I re-include the file. This seems strange to me. collecting the UnitRange and using a for loop fixes this.

Lastly, but not leastly:

I should have investigated this more. Thanks @ChrisRackauckas for the link to the issue. It was a bug.
